Not saying that so I get good insta posts

…

Noooo

[plain jungle]

Any donki has its Halloween section and costume section

[boreal glen]

What floor? I looked briefly in the osaka donki but couldn't really find much

[plain jungle]

It depends on the store

Every city has a donki

Have u been to thr one in namba yet?

Umeda

Make that a side quest of today

[boreal glen]

I went to the one right by the canal here

[subtle briar]

Umeda one is huge

Going to see those monkeys

[fathom veldt]

Ohh ok. I’m moving from kyoto to osaka tn so i’m down to check it out too

[boreal glen]

Woah, 2 birds with 1 stone

That way I get a costume for tonight too

[fathom veldt]

Exactly

[subtle briar]

Sounds like a plan

[elfin island]

Might be some people organising Halloween on https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1293791279762903072

Not decided on whether or not tonight will be the night on dress up for me 😂 will defo be heading out none the less!

[half crescent]

Could be interested, should be back around 6ish

[elfin island]

Cool. For the gyoza place, it’s big, but all the salarymen go there, so some times queue or reservation is required. Going to head there and see what’s up

[subtle briar]

Égérie is this lol

Where*

The only monkeys I know are the snow ones

Who are docile AF

[plain jungle]

Kyoto

[boreal glen]

Wait that the one near the bamboo forest?

[subtle briar]

OH the monkey park

[boreal glen]

You're not allowed to take pics??

[subtle briar]

No

It’s because they’ll steal cameras

150%

[half crescent]

The otoyo shrine in Kyoto

Just no staring

[half crescent]

No you have to stare, assert dominance

[plain jungle]

Up the katsura river

[fathom veldt]

It was cloudy

[boreal glen]

How does that affect the ability to kayak

[fathom veldt]

You got me there

[hoary forge]

You guys know anything good to eat around Osaka castle? Wondering if i should just go back or grab something around here

[subtle briar]

I’m gonna be around there soon to eat

God knows what I’ll find but I’ll be coming

[hoary forge]

Oh cool, hit me up when you get around here, we can find some place

[elfin island]

Okay. I’m going to hit up dotonbori pedestrian bridge, right at the beer sign at 6:30 for food. Here https://maps.app.goo.gl/EG1iKJZ7PT6vaGkz6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

@subtle briar @half crescent @north finch @plain jungle @grim wolf Tagging you as you said you’d be interested. I know of one place that might be able to take us as in at our size, but might have to wait a bit. It’s lesser known by the tourists, but busy for locals.

This is for food and we can go somewhere else for karaoke later. @grim wolf I think they do have veggie options. Double checking

[grim wolf]

My g

If not there's a vegan place literally across the road so I can just go there worst comes to worst

[pseudo estuary]

I might join for karaoke/drinks later, are you guys dressing up?

[plain jungle]

I kind of will yea,ill hit up a donki and look around,if i find something

[elfin island]

Hmm. Place I’m looking at does accept reservations, but you can only do it the day after. Not day of. Could still have a table we could chance our arm at getting and wander around if we don’t get it. They do have veggie options.

[elfin island]

Yea np

I personally won’t be dressing up (saving that for tomorrow 😂) but yeah, it’s up you by all means. Lots of people will be! 😄

[plain jungle]

Oh man im scared about how crowded it could get

If i see that

Man its gonna be wild

[elfin island]

Yer. I was here for Halloween last year and it was nuts. Avoided that space but there’s other less crowded spaces thankfully

[plain jungle]

Pfew

[elfin island]

Usually is plenty of police wardens around, so don’t be too worried o7

[plain jungle]

Thanks 🥲🥲

[noble wind]

that looks wild

[marsh hedge]

what's the karaoke bar called for the meetup tonight?

[grim wolf]

can't decide to dress up or not

what's the majority doing 🐑

[elfin island]

lol. I’m worried about the temu thing I bought breaking 😂

…hoping to get at least 3 wears out of it!

[grim wolf]

what is it

[molten wren]

shoulda kept your poncho, could have gone as an amusement park attendee

carry water to splash anyone who calls the costume lame

[grim wolf]

I'd have looked so impressive in those lil booties

[molten wren]

the BULLSHIT booties, I still can't believe my shoes got wet

[grim wolf]

(I also would've definitely slipped in them and broke my neck)

[molten wren]

but you're protected if anyone drinks too much and 🤢

[elfin island]

Something derived from an Irish author actually. Universal made a movie out of it. Employees at USJ liked it (though they’re instructed to smile at everything, from a friend I know who worked there!)

You’ll see it if I wear it tonight!

Hell… I’ll wear it tonight. I haven’t tried it on, but if it fits me, why not

[grim wolf]

Very cryptic

man of mystery

If it's not a leprechaun outfit I'm going to be disappointed

[elfin island]

Wow

[grim wolf]

joking hehe

you're far too tall for that it's probably more suitable for me

[elfin island]

Didn’t you see me. I wouldn’t get away with pulling that off

Yes

That and not being ginger

[grim wolf]

I might lure one of these deer in Nara to Osaka and incorporate them into my costume

[plain jungle]

[empty sun]

I’ll grab one from Donki if that’s the case

[plain jungle]

The karaoke or the pre party

[elfin island]

[boreal glen]

"Arigatou very much"

[plain jungle]

[boreal glen]

Oh damn

[plain jungle]

Yen*

[grim wolf]

I've definitely said arigatou instead of konnichiwa a few times

[boreal glen]

I'll see if I make it back in time to avoid the crowd then lol

[elfin island]

I usually spend a lot of effort on costumes. PTA having to shove everything into a suitcase

Just went for a pre packed one and said fuck it

[grim wolf]

I do wish I'd came with one now

[elfin island]

You all should cosplay as Logan Paul and wear Pokémon costumes

[plain jungle]

Oh hell

Im down to wear a pokemon costume lel

[north finch]

So wait… are we dressing up starting at dinner or we going to go home and dress up after dinner

[elfin island]

(Yeah at least don’t act like him 😂)

[north finch]

If they have something Pokémon related at don I’ll get that.

I’ll go cheap

[elfin island]

I mean, I guess coming wearing your costume would be easier?

[grim wolf]

Might just steal a sheet from my hotel and go as a ghost

[plain jungle]

Im still contemplating if ill join for dinner or just turn up at voyager and wait for yall

[north finch]

Ima pray they have either squirtle or bulbasaur

[molten wren]

just buy some eyeliner and draw a cat face on yourself

[plain jungle]

Low effort,top quality

[plain jungle]

Yes

[north finch]

We can help by ignoring you and acting like we don’t see you

The ghost of Osaka

[plain jungle]

Fuck yea

Wait

🥹

Dont ignore me 😭

[grim wolf]

I fear my reputation back home would never recover if I dressed up as a catboi in Japan

[north finch]

Okay well let me know if we are dressing for dinner or not. Ima grab a cigar/cocktail then hit up Don

[elfin island]

I’ll be heading to dinner dressed up anyway o7

[north finch]

No one needs to know.

[loud basin]

What happens in japan stays in japan

[north finch]

But we will tell them regardless

[loud basin]

Who needs to know?

[subtle briar]

I’m not bothering with a costume lol

I’ll go as a Brit

[north finch]

Want me to get you one?

[elfin island]

When you go to Japan with your friends and they can take pictures…. Yeah, then the pictures follow you home 😂

[north finch]

I think Shaun has a few extra ghost outfits if you need it

[subtle briar]

Shaun with the table clothes?

[north finch]

Bed sheets

He’s fancy

[grim wolf]

Make sure you get too drunk and piss in the streets to really cement the costume

[loud basin]

Maybe I’ll go as a river person

[subtle briar]

It’s ok I’ll go roadman

Innit bruv

[elfin island]

Person heading to Ibiza on their holidays cosplay

[loud basin]

Someone who says “too many Spaniards in Spain” cosplay

[subtle briar]

Oh Tbf I got that one

😂😂

[subtle briar]

If everyone goes as something and I don’t then that’s my costume

[plain jungle]

True

[subtle briar]

Big thoughts

[north finch]

I meant Shaun for his ghost costume

Haha

[subtle briar]

Plus I’m going as the demon from death note back home

And as goku

So I’m all done 😂

[elfin island]

Have low expectations tonight for food btw. Place going to be blocked af

[subtle briar]

Dawg icl

[plain jungle]

I love coco ichi

[grim wolf]

[plain jungle]

Hell yea!

[subtle briar]

Cool cool

[plain jungle]

Oh I'm still thinking

[subtle briar]

I’ve thought for you

😀

[grim wolf]

I could barely move for like 2 hours after my last Coco 🫃

[plain jungle]

😀

[elfin island]

You know you can select the portion sizes of rice right

[grim wolf]

I did not know that

I felt guilty about leaving some so forced myself to eat it all

[plain jungle]

I always take 200g just so i can still move

[grim wolf]

I blame Sanji from one piece

[elfin island]

Only rule out of that place is to get the highest curry level

Like, always

Spice level, rather

It’s not even that bad

Employee tried to warn me against it

[grim wolf]

yeah the default wasn't spicy at all

[subtle briar]

What are the costumes at donki tho

💀

[elfin island]

Pokemon onesie , traditional Halloween stuff

Okay selection tbf

[plain jungle]

Maid costumes

Police

[elfin island]

[grim wolf]

I'm going as a maid

[plain jungle]

Damn

[elfin island]

That’s what Japan has done to you in the past 2 weeks, huh?

[subtle briar]

Has anyone gone to the mega donki?

[plain jungle]

Yraaa

I speand a good 4 hours there

[elfin island]

[subtle briar]

[plain jungle]

Its just bigger

[subtle briar]

DOING WHAT?!

[scarlet trellis]

[plain jungle]

But not necessarily beterr

[subtle briar]

Getting lost?

[plain jungle]

Trying makeup and buying too muxh nails and makeup

I take a long time making choises

And checking out a very nice corner section

Just fir inspiration

[north finch]

I wanna do Pokémon onesie but I don’t think it will fit me

They’re usually one size fits all right?

[grim wolf]

I'm tempted by the Pokémon onesie but also scared of how hot it'll be

[north finch]

Just pretend you’re in the fire gym

[noble sable]

What's the most low key costume one could get away with 😅

[subtle briar]

Lowkey same

I’m gonna go hit it up

After I’m back from the castle

I mean I think it’ll fit me but I’ll boil myself alive

[marsh hedge]

[subtle briar]

German at oktoberfest

[noble sable]

Yeah, I need a short sleeved costume if I'm even gonna get one. Maybe I can find a viking helmet somewhere

[subtle briar]

@north finch which donki u gonna go to

We could maybe attempt to find something

[north finch]

Ima hit up the one at Dotonbori

[elfin island]

Need to find black pants. 💀 problem is that Japan sizing for clothes is scuffed. No jeans fit me length wise

[north finch]

But I’m going to grab a cigar first and then go to the store so I can go to my hotel from there and get poke’d-up

[subtle briar]

Do u have long legs?

Cause I have never faced this

[karmic sedge]

uniqlo chino pants

[elfin island]

Yea usually go for 36”l

[karmic sedge]

unless youre like a giga monster man im 6ft and they fit great

[grim wolf]

Anyone know what Pokémon they've got

It's not just gen 1 shitters is it

[north finch]

[noble sable]

Starting a flame war

[grim wolf]

[subtle briar]

[grim wolf]

I wasn't looking out for them so may be wrong

Osaka

[subtle briar]

On Tripadvisor it says they do have some

[scarlet trellis]

gen1 from what i remember

[boreal glen]

I went there too, they don't have costumes but they have big hats

(The pokemon center)

[scarlet trellis]

and pretty shitty quality

[north finch]

Shaun giving Gary Oak energy dissing gen 1…

[subtle briar]

[loud basin]

I have overtime LOL

This project is kicking my ass

[subtle briar]

I may go to mandarake

See what they’ve got

Cause that’s a whole ass cosplay store

[grim wolf]

That's a shout

[subtle briar]

Yee that’s my plan

[plain jungle]

Yes

[grim wolf]

That was all donki had?

[plain jungle]

Nooooo

They have wayyyy more

But its all skimpy stuff for women or yhe classic costumes

[grim wolf]

What's the equivalent of Primark here

[subtle briar]

Uniqlo 😂

[grim wolf]

is there anything even cheaper than uniqlo

[north finch]

Don ^

[karmic sedge]

☹️ lmk if you do come here

[grim wolf]

Doki penguin costume goes kinda hard

[subtle briar]

Honestly the gengar is kinda fire

I’d wear that to a club

[north finch]

I’m confused they seem more like blankets you can button up

[subtle briar]

That is basically what a onesie is

Yes

[north finch]

I’m used to like a legit legs and arms slot

[subtle briar]

Ahh

Like a jumpsuit

[north finch]

But yeah they have these. We could all go as donki penguins lol

[subtle briar]

I’m not wearing a blanket

[grim wolf]

There's gotta be other places in Osaka it's huge

[subtle briar]

In 26C

You can fuck off

I’m going to mandarake

[subtle briar]

Not you Valk if that wasn’t clear

[north finch]

[boreal glen]

Went for the fistbump but he was having none of that

[grim wolf]

"piss off and give me a peanut already"

[molten wren]

[molten wren]

[grim wolf]

I already look a bit too andro, I fear I'd get hit on as a maid

[plain jungle]

Ofc I will!

[plain jungle]

Heyyy win win

[pseudo estuary]

I settled for a jiangshi costume 😗

[subtle briar]

I also can’t decide whether to go HAM tonight

Or to do Kyoto AM tomorrow

[pseudo estuary]

It really is too hot for a pokemon blanket >.>

[elfin island]

There’s only three Halloween party days you can do in Osaka per year 😉 @subtle briar

[subtle briar]

This…is true

I’m definitely going out

That or I simply get to Kyoto late tomorrow and see fushimi at night

[boreal glen]

Fushimi is better at night from what I see

[elfin island]

I thought was great at night fwiw

[boreal glen]

Way less tourists

[subtle briar]

It’s either at night or at 6AM

[elfin island]

Considerably less

[subtle briar]

What’s a definition of night

9PM?

8PM!

?*

[elfin island]

Yeah 7-8+

[subtle briar]

Ok calm

[elfin island]

Uniqlo actually delivered in having pants that fit me 😂

[grim wolf]

I'll be getting obliterated tonight as I stupidly booked universal studios for Sunday

[subtle briar]

I’ll be obliterated before I turn up

Having 10 drinks at my hotel

💀💀💀

[elfin island]

Anybody know if Donki sells those passport protectors btw?

Cover of mine is getting obliterated from having it in my pants all the time

[subtle briar]

Oh shit I probably should get one of those as well

If u spot it can u tell me?

[elfin island]

[plain jungle]

(Not me btw)

[grim wolf]

[plain jungle]

[north finch]

Nice try. It’s u

Did anyone find more options in Osaka?

[grim wolf]

Gonna try a few places in Osaka now and if I can't find anything I'm just gonna go in normal clothes

[north finch]

Lemme know what you find. I’m chillin for the time being

[plain jungle]

Im calm

[elfin island]

Donki has a mad scramble for costumes 😂

[north finch]

If it wasn’t hot I’d be mewtwo for sure

Probably going to end up just not dressing up 🙃

[elfin island]

Ah. Wow. Well. I’m committed 😉

[north finch]

What are you going to do?

[elfin island]

Dress up! 🙂

Oh. So this was wearing swat uniforms last year

Literally half of USJ was wearing swat uniforms. Not all from Donki 😂

[hoary forge]

I'm not either, my feet can't handle me searching for a costume rn

[north finch]

The bed sheet ghost outfit looking more and more like the move 😂

[plain jungle]

Hell yea

Low effort,high quality

[elfin island]

They’ve these nice masks too

[plain jungle]

Show

[plain jungle]

Ahhh yes

[grim wolf]

All the donki costumes look very hot

[plain jungle]

Go maid

That's hot too

[noble sable]

There's a company that does free guided night walks at Fushimi with ghost stories I could link u 👻

[subtle briar]

Oh? That’s cool

Ye plz

[noble sable]

https://kyotofreewalkingtour.com/kyoto-tours-schedule/

It's seems the ghost one is only on Sundays unfortunately :/

[loud basin]

Nah was just wondering if I should go out at all or just grind work LOL

I have to have a deliverable by Monday so….

[elfin island]

[subtle briar]

Oh dope

[subtle briar]

None of the stores here sell size 12. F

[plain jungle]

I have heels that match but oh lord are they a p a i n

[elfin island]

Hahaha the pack unexpectedly came with this 😂

Might have been why it was a tad bit heavy in the bag 🤔

[north finch]

What floor are the costumes you were looking at?

[pseudo estuary]

I’m in Kyoto 😅, the Halloween sections was upfront/by the cashier

[grim wolf]

Anything?

[subtle briar]

Not there yet

[grim wolf]

I just tried village vanguard, nothing

[north finch]

Don Quijote Dotonbori Midosuji

[elfin island]

Yeah good choice there

That’s where I took the pic

[grim wolf]

[karmic sedge]

[grim wolf]

Is that all the options

[grim wolf]

Send a full pic I cannot be arsed walking back there to check

[north finch]

Let me try to send a bunch of pics

[elfin island]

There’s the swat costume if that tickles your fancy

[grim wolf]

I'm heading to Mandarake now

No chance of me making the 6:30 I'm afraid I ain't even showered yet lmao

[north finch]

Bunch of hats too

[karmic sedge]

ill probably go for a funny hat/glasses combo and just call it

[subtle briar]

Ok there is stuff but it’s expensive

And honestly I cba 😂

[grim wolf]

Let me check Mandarake

We could do mario and Luigi @north finch lmao

[elfin island]

Okay. So anybody going to be there for 6:30 or so? Trying to avoid the salarymen scramble as much as possible

Sweat boxes the stations are lol

[north finch]

Im up for dinner but might be tight on time. I ended up just grabbing a simple cape… if we don’t meet for dinner I can grab something quick before drinks

[north finch]

Would love to but don’t wanna be sweating crazy

[noble sable]

Where are everyone meeting for drinks later?

[subtle briar]

Costumes be damned

😂😂

[elfin island]

I can meet for food. What time you be in for at the bridge?

[grim wolf]

Quite a lot in Mandarake actually

[subtle briar]

Ye there was

Wait which mandarake r u at lol

Cause I just left

[grim wolf]

The costumes look quite light

[north finch]

I feel like I let you down not getting the Luigi for myself 🥲🥲

[empty sun]

[north finch]

Dinner

[north finch]

Prob 6:45? walking to hotel now

[elfin island]

[elfin island]

Either or. Nothing too fancy. Definitely be able to get snacks

Cool. I’ll be at the bridge (where I posted earlier) for 6:45

[empty sun]

Okie I do t know how much I can eat right now but I can prob make it for 630 in that case

[grim wolf]

Did you get anything or just go without?

[north finch]

Got this

[grim wolf]

How much was that

[north finch]

Low effort 🙂

[subtle briar]

Donki is massive I’m fuckin lost

[elfin island]

Looking forward to the salaryman stares in the metro 😂

[north finch]

~1.5k

[north finch]

They have all you need to stay alive for a good while if you can never find the exit 🙂

[subtle briar]

Yup and now my mum wants me to shop for her ffs

I found a magicarp hat lol

[plain jungle]

Im srsly debating wither to wear my heels or non fitting platform shoes,I know this is nothing u guys care about but what would u choose 😔😔

[subtle briar]

Heels is risky business no)

[north finch]

I’m wearing tennis lol

[hoary forge]

I went on my first day there, jetlagged as fuck, with 0 hours of sleep, couldn't handle it tbh haha. Need to go back

[boreal glen]

Go with the more comfy option, it might be a long night

[grim wolf]

I just found a haikyuu outfit that'll do me

[half crescent]

I'm heading out in 10ish

[grim wolf]

Gonna be cold af in it lmao

[plain jungle]

Trueee,and less old japanese men approaching me

[subtle briar]

[plain jungle]

Hell yeeea

[grim wolf]

Mandarake there was a lot there

[subtle briar]

Which one did u go to?

[gilded iron]

Would be great if you don't pass out before 20:00 something, so you can give some info where you are 😉

[subtle briar]

Unless I was dumb I legit saw nothing

[grim wolf]

Grand Chaos

[plain jungle]

Ofc!

[subtle briar]

Is that the one in Umeda?

[grim wolf]

It was confusing but I asked the woman if they had any haikyuu stuff

Nah like Dotonobori

[subtle briar]

Ahh ye I was in the other one

Jack shit there

[elfin island]

Yeah. No rush. Few mins late trying to put this on lol

[grim wolf]

Do many places have cloak rooms

Kinda wanna take my jacket out since this outfit will be freezing

[subtle briar]

😮 passed a police place with foreigners in it

[karmic sedge]

most places have coinlockers pretty sure

[subtle briar]

Kinda curious

[plain jungle]

Maybe lost their passport

[grim wolf]

I haven't seen any one in costume yet 😭

I'm having doubts

[subtle briar]

Noone is in costume up here either

[plain jungle]

It's only 6pm

And there are events going on

So I have mo clue

[elfin island]

Ngl im fucking baking

[grim wolf]

How many looks you getting

[elfin island]

Everybody just coming home from work then changing

[plain jungle]

Yess

[grim wolf]

My costume is ironic because the character is like 6 foot tall and I'm short as fuck

[plain jungle]

Makes it even beter

[subtle briar]

I should have gone to your mandrake

😂😂

[grim wolf]

At least I have brown hair to match

[elfin island]

Lads this costume isn’t meant for this costume

[gilded iron]

Any problems coming without a costume? 🤔

[elfin island]

Boiling in an air conditioned room

Nah you good

[subtle briar]

Nope

[plain jungle]

Ur cooking

[sharp yoke]

You’ll dress up in the 31st as well? 😆🐥

[elfin island]

Yes

[plain jungle]

Yess

[subtle briar]

Kinda pissed i didn’t even get makeup to look SOMEWHAT like I’m in a costume

[sharp yoke]

Cool I’ll wear my tamagotchi onesie

[plain jungle]

I can come and do ur makeup lmao

[elfin island]

Potentially if my costume isn’t drenched in sweat

[sharp yoke]

Though maybe it’s too hot 😦

[plain jungle]

It cools down quite a bit lately

Imo

[subtle briar]

😂😂 idk what you’ll turn me into if I say yes to this

[grim wolf]

Go get one from donki

They're cheap

[subtle briar]

A costume? I just left it

[grim wolf]

Just get where's wally or something

[subtle briar]

I’m too hungry to think

[grim wolf]

Go onnnn

Will be better with one

[plain jungle]

Anything u want

But im only good at goth/alternative makeup though

[elfin island]

On my way now just double checking everything

[grim wolf]

Make him into a skeleton

[subtle briar]

Am I just really ignorant (yes) but I have zeroe clue what that means aside from an entire white face

[plain jungle]

Can work

[plain jungle]

Eyeliner and indeed very pale base,dark eyeshadow,dark lips,strong contouring

But they have makeup at donki specific for halloween

[subtle briar]

Oh like maneskin or is that technically more punk?

[plain jungle]

Like the classic red,white,black thing

[grim wolf]

Or if you like wrestling go as Sting

[north finch]

What’s your ETA ima leave in the next 5

[plain jungle]

Close enough!haha ,you'll see me tonight,you'll get what I mean

[subtle briar]

Yup yup

[plain jungle]

[grim wolf]

[empty sun]

Heading over now

[subtle briar]

Oh guys

My Osaka links hooked me up

They apparently mostly celebrate on the 28tj or the 31st

I asked

😂😂

[elfin island]

Left now

22 mins

I’ll be there

[half crescent]

But that's Monday

[grim wolf]

So nobody will be in costume? 😭

[subtle briar]

Students on Monday

[elfin island]

Nah saw a few already

[subtle briar]

‘Mostly’

But ppl who work apparently go out some point this weekend

🤣 how helpful

[elfin island]

Yep getting some stares

😂😂😂

[subtle briar]

What u wearing

[gilded iron]

Someone told me, because 31. Is on a workday, parties will be the weekend before, after, and on the day of course - makes sense for me 😜

[boreal glen]

Anyone bringing a portable charger with them

[north finch]

On my way!

[gilded iron]

Usb C?

[boreal glen]

Ya

[north finch]

I’m so low effort LOL looks like I was just cold and threw a cape on

Or I’m just a guy who always wears a cape when he goes out

[grim wolf]

Might look better with some makeup from yinxy

[subtle briar]

Beats me

I’m basically just dressing nice hoping it looks similar enough to some kind of anime character in some anime I haven’t watched

🤔

Usually that works

I mean technically I could dress as a Korean cause they all have the same fashion sense … and I have the clothing

[loud basin]

Guaranteed stuck overtime now so won’t be able to head to Osaka tonight, you guys have fun and send pics pls :’)

[subtle briar]

But I do feel that’s mildly on the nose

Oh wait actually

Is it?

LOL

[north finch]

Crush your work!! You’ll get to party another day 💪🏽💪🏽

[subtle briar]

Fuck it I’m going as the stereotypical Korean I met

😭

[boreal glen]

[elfin island]

[noble sable]

I'm down for 9.15-9.30 for karaoke

[hoary forge]

I'm at voyager

You guys there?

[grim wolf]

Nobody is in costume 😭 I'm actually tempted to change

[north finch]

I’m not in a costume. I’m just a guy wearing a cape

[subtle briar]

I’m a Korean

So it’s fine 😂

[grim wolf]

Is anyone in your group other than tdawg?

[remote patio]

It’s like 4k of steps no

[boreal glen]

Oh really?

Yeah I did, got to the top

Got a bit lost a few times too cause there were barely any tourists there

[hoary forge]

You're not coming to voyager?

Honestly might be cheaper to get a couple of beers here lol

[boreal glen]

I was gonna say, 9pms a bit early for karaoke

[hoary forge]

Voyager is not that crowded right now tbh

[subtle briar]

Oh dope is it worth?

[subtle briar]

That’s why 9:30 😉

[boreal glen]

I was thinking 11 XD that's right when voyager starts to get really full

That way it's all you can drink for 1100 yen

[boreal glen]

Ya, got some really nice views at the mid point

Not many tourists at this time too

[subtle briar]

I mean I don’t care 😂 I’m just following the crowd and said 9;30 💀

[loud basin]

Damn nice view

[boreal glen]

Yeah that's the halfway point

[hoary forge]

Yeah, I think that makes more sense also

[loud basin]

When were you there?

[hoary forge]

I wanna do that but I already have too many blisters lol

[boreal glen]

About 30 mins ago lol

[boreal glen]

That's fair

[loud basin]

Oh damn

[loud basin]

I mean out to Osaka LOL

The night is young

[boreal glen]
